Some teams have already started making moves, so here are three bold predictions about what the Twins will do before the deadline.

Now, timing dictates that the smart move is for the team to deal him away at this deadline.




	That's not an indictment of Larnach as a player. Quite the opposite, in fact.&#xA0;

There are multiple reasons for those struggles, but Byron Buxton's streakiness is the main culprit.
